More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
To behave rightly, we ourselves should never lay a hand on our servants as long as our anger lasts. Things will seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down.
Michel de Montaigne
No two men ever judged alike of the same thing, and it is impossible to find two opinions exactly similar, not only in different men but in the same men at different times.
Michel de Montaigne
Health is a precious thing, and the only one, in truth, meriting that a man should lay out not only his time, sweat, labor and goods, but also life itself to obtain it.
Michel de Montaigne
Poverty of goods is easily cured poverty of soul, impossible.
Michel de Montaigne
The confidence in another man's virtue is no light evidence of a man's own, and God willingly favors such a confidence.
Michel de Montaigne
The daughter-in-law of Pythagoras said that a woman who goes to bed with a man ought to lay aside her modesty with her skirt, and put it on again with her petticoat
Michel de Montaigne
If you don't know how to die, don't worry Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you don't bother your head about it.
Michel de Montaigne
A woman is no sooner ours than we are no longer hers.
Michel de Montaigne
Men are most apt to believe what they least understand.
Michel de Montaigne
Nothing else but an insatiate thirst of enjoying a greedily desired object.
Michel de Montaigne
Physicians have this advantage: the sun lights their success and the earth covers their failures.
Michel de Montaigne
I aim here only at revealing myself, who will perhaps be different tomorrow, if I learn something new which changes me.
Michel de Montaigne
He that I am reading seems always to have the most force.
Michel de Montaigne
Learning is a good medicine: but no medicine is powerful enough to preserve itself from taint and corruption independently of defects in the jar that it is kept in. One man sees clearly but does not see straight: consequently he sees what is good but fails to follow it he sees knowledge and does not use it.
Michel de Montaigne
Friendship is the highest degree of perfection in society.
Michel de Montaigne
It costs an unreasonable woman no more to pass over one reason than another they cherish themselves most where they are most wrong.
Michel de Montaigne
One open way of speaking introduces another open way of speaking, and draws out discoveries, like wine and love.
Michel de Montaigne
A man must not always tell all, for that be folly but what a man says should be what he thinks.
Michel de Montaigne
I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
Michel de Montaigne
I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself.
Michel de Montaigne
